Everything From Love Letters to False Teeth Left at Hotels, Says Severin Housekeeper.

“Don’t leave your love letters in hotel rooms!" Such was the advice today of Mrs. June Storey, Severin housekeeper. "Interesting” love letters, read and discarded, are commonly found in rooms after hotel guests leave, according to Mrs. Storey. Everything ranging from false teeth to intoxicating liquor is found by nMds, she said. “False teeth are common, but they are never called for by the owner. I guess they are ashamed to claim them and get new ones. Actress Leaves Wig “Frequently we receive telegrams from guests who’ have forgotten something and desire to get it in a hurry.

STATE TAX BOARD HEAD FIGHTS FINE Declares Justice of Peace Ignored His Rights as Citizen. Declaring that his rights as an American citizen were ignored last week when he was fined at Ingalls, Ind., for failing to observe a highway “stop” sign, John J. Brown, State tax board, chairman wrote today to Milton P. Huser/ justice of the peace at that town, demanding that the fine be returned and his name be cleared of the charge. Brown, in the letter, declared that the fine was extracted from him without affidavit or indictment, that lie wa3 fined on presumption of guilt and not on proof, that he was not arraigned, that he was not wilfully violating any ordinance and that the arresting officer had absolved him of endangering human life in his statement that Brown’s car was going less than ten miles an hour. The fine was "wholly unwarranted under any statute in the State of Indiana,” and not only violated the I State constitution, but the Federal [Constitution with reference to citizenship, Brown's letter said/ “Such conduct on the part of socalled judicial officers ie inimical to the best interests of the State, because it destroys the confidence of men who are honestly and sincerely trying to obey the law,” Brown continued. He stated that if the action is not reversed, he will take such steps as he believes "warranted under the circumstances.” LEGION TO HEAR DAWES Bu United Preaa PHILADELPHIA.

SCHOOL BOARD TO GET BUDGET TUESDAY NIGHT Provides for Tax Levy of $1,098 Building Program Figure Untouched. The tentative 1926-27 school city budget, which provides for a tax levy of about $1,098, will be prevented at the school board meeting, Tuesday night. The budget, pared to its limits by the school business department, h a s been fully drawn. Business Director Ure M. Frazer, today was preparing statements for the board members explaining changes. One of the high points of the budget is the fact that the new $710,000 building program has remained untouched. This amount, and other funds for necessary building, left over from the last! fiscal year, will run the aggregate amount of building expenditures to about $1,400,000. - To Even $1.09 It is believed the tax levy figure will be sliced to an even $1.09. Following approval of the budget by the board on Tuesday night it will be advertised for public hearing. The first hearing probably will be about Sept. 13. • This will be the opportunity for the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association and the Chamber of Commerce to air their views. Miesse Wants It Cut The Chamber will support the levy if it is shown the budget consists of necessities. It is understood that Harry F. Miesse, tax agent of a railroad and head of the taxpayers’ association, has declared a 9S-cent levy is sufficient. Following the public hearing ten or more taxpayers can file a remonstrance with County Auditor Harry Dunn, automatically bringing the matter before the State tax board.
